BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ CLUBS PLANNED Relief Work to Embrace Juvenile Efforts. Boys and girls -who have a deep rooted sympathy for the unfortunate children of Armenia may form what is known as “Fifteen Clubs," and by contributing a small amount each month become responsible for the welfare of one of these unhappy orphans, according to a plan outlined by Near East Relief, 403 City Trust building. If each member of the “Fifteen Club" pays $1 a month It means sls, which Is sufficient to feed, clothe and educate one Armenian child. So economically are the funds of Near East Relief administered that it Is possible to accomplish all these good things for the little Armenian unfortunates for a trivial sum. Tbs pupils of the William McKinley public school, Lexington and State avences, have become interested In the Armenian children through the action of the Parent-Teacher Association of the school, which this week adopted an orphan on the S6O a year plan.

Smith, president of the Parent-Teacher Association, said: “We feel there is no more desperate situation In the world than in Armenia and there can not possibly be greater suffering from hunger and want.

Continuous laughter running throughout the three acts of the play, Is indicated by the reports which have come from Chicago of “The Hottentot,” the new farce in which William Collier is starring under the management of Sam H. Harris, one-time partner of George M. Cohan. Mr. Collier Is appearing at Cohan’s Grand and it is said he is repeating there the great success he achieved in New York in this play.

IN THE LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE (Continued From Page Five.) has played to only fair business at the Murat this week. -I- -I- -IDlxle Hines sends this department the following Broadway news: Avery Hopwood, who is rapidly approaching the enviable position where he can entertain a theater party each night for a week and spend one evening at each of his plays current on Broadway, shares authorship of anew comedy which started rehearsals in Now York last week. It will be called “Gertie's Garter,” or maybe it Is Gloria. This sets anew style and wo fuli.v expect ’‘Carrie's Chemise” and “Bessie’s Bloomers" to follow, ending Tip, it may be surmised, wlfh “Naida’s Nakedness." New Y’ork heard for the first time, as did the United States, the great Mitnitzky, Russian violinist, at Carnegie Hall last week. This wonderful musical genius performed astounding feats of musicianship upon the violin, and won signal triumphs for his intelligence, brilliancy and virtuosity. As an interpreter of Paganini he won abroad, and confirmed in his American debut, the soubriquet of “Paganini reincarnate.” So remarkable was his acclaim that another engagement for next month already has been arranged .for him. and here he will perform only the music of Paganini himself. Frit* Lelber. the young I.ochinvar of the Shakespearean field, will return to New Y'ork about Eas’er and resume his triumphant presentation of the plays of Shakespeare. During his late and first stellar engagement, when he established new records for attendance at Shakespearean plays, he established likewise a position high in the artistic archives of dramatic art. ne is now being recorded as more than a pleasing jrhd intelligent actor, he is anew desciple of the modern .Shakespeare, which Implies an intelligent adaptation of the plays to modern thought without In the least desecrating the ancient custom. Many new dancers have been seen in Now Y'ork this season, indeed, the feature of the season has been the premieres of new dancers and the appearance of terpsichorein favorites of this and othecountries, and it is a source of gratification to American music lovers that native talent has in every respect been as impressive and satisfying ns that imported. A dainty, graceful and temperamental bit of dancing grace. Mile. Phebe. who is a rare delight in the Greenwich Village Follies, is one such. She is an American girl, and her art and grace have won the highest artistic acclaim, so much so that she will, in company with Ivan Bankoff, the Russian dancer, give a series of matinee dansants.
